Technology & IT consulting
Technology moves faster than any playbook, and the hard calls — what to build, what to buy, where AI actually pays off — are strategy problems, not engineering ones. We bring the outside rigor that keeps a fast-moving company pointed at value.
How we serve this industry
Rigor first. Then the discipline to make it hold.
Technology companies rarely fail for lack of ideas or talent; they fail on focus — building past product-market fit, scaling a motion that doesn't hold, or spending heavily on a platform bet that never returns. Our work is the colder read: where the durable advantage actually sits, and which of the many possible directions is worth the company's finite attention.
We advise founders and operators across software, hardware, and infrastructure on the decisions that are expensive to reverse — positioning, go-to-market, the build-versus-buy calls, and how to turn AI from a line item into leverage. Praxis grew out of a growth and search practice, so the growth-and-marketing side of this industry is home ground as much as the strategy side.

What makes this different
The forces shaping the work right now.
- 01
AI has reset the cost curve
Every technology company is now re-underwriting its roadmap and its margins against what AI makes cheap. The winners are deciding deliberately where it creates advantage and where it only creates spend — a judgment call a tool can't make for you.
- 02
Growth economics are under a microscope
The era of growth at any cost is over. Efficient, durable expansion — a motion that survives a P&L review — is the question every board is asking, and the one that separates a fundable company from a stalled one.
- 03
The expensive decisions are architectural
Platform choices, build-versus-buy, and data architecture are the calls that are costly to undo three years later. That's exactly where independent strategy earns its fee — before the concrete sets.

Questions
Before you reach out.
- Are you a technical or a strategy advisor?
- Strategy. We own the decisions — direction, positioning, go-to-market, build-versus-buy, and where AI creates real leverage — and work alongside your engineering team on execution. The value we bring is the judgment layer, not swinging every hammer.
- Do you only work with software companies?
- No. This group spans software, hardware and semiconductors, cloud and data infrastructure, cybersecurity, developer tools, and IT services. The strategic method is the same; the sector dynamics differ, which is why each has its own page.
- Can you actually promise growth or a valuation?
- No, and anyone who does is selling something we won't. We provide rigorous analysis and disciplined execution; the market and the outcome stay yours. What we're accountable for is the quality of the thinking and the work.
